If you enjoy outdoor activities like four-wheeling or dirt biking you should be considering these 2024 class C toy haulers. If you need a family-friendly, drivable RV for all the kids’ toys and bicycles, a Class C toy hauler checks off many boxes for your needs.
Class C toy haulers are beautiful and roomy inside. They could be great for a single person, a couple, or a family. In general, they are a breeze to drive, maneuver, set up, and are an awesome motor coach to own.
What is a Class C Toy Hauler?
A toy hauler is just what it sounds like. It’s an RV featuring a garage in the rear with a ramp door for access that can haul all kinds of adventure toys. Generally, these aren’t just any toys. Many RVers use a toy hauler for motorized vehicles such as ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, or dirt bikes.
These RVs can also easily carry mountain bikes, kayaks, golf carts, and much more.
You’ll find that fifth-wheel toy haulers have the widest variety due to their heavy Carrying Cargo Capacity (CCC). Travel trailer and fish house trailer toy haulers are great for one or two motorized adventure toys.
The Class C toy hauler combines excellent drivable RV living space with a garage that can haul an ATV, UTV, kayak, as well as other equipment.
Best Class C Toy Haulers for 2024
Check out this amazing Class C toy hauler, loaded with all the stuff you want when you are out on the road.
1. Coachmen Cross Trail 21XG
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Highly nimble and small, with a ton of storage and versatility for its size
⛔ Vent fan is smallish and doesn’t draw enough
- Engine: V6 EcoBoost 3.5L
- Length: 24′ 1”
- Tow Capacity: 4,000 lbs
- Garage: Unlisted
- Chassis: Ford Transit T350
- GVWR: 11,000 lbs
- Sleep: 4
- Ramp: Unlisted
Coachmen Cross Trail 21XGs straddle the line between Class C and Class B, with some qualifying it as a Class B+. For small families, this is a good thing, because it’s a small toy hauler that’s a lot more versatile and maneuverable on the road than some other Class Cs on this list.
You won’t park an ATV in this one, but you can get a motorcycle inside, multiple kayaks, dirt bikes, mountain bikes, and maybe even a canoe, assuming it’s not too lengthy.
One of the highlights of the Cross Trail lineup is how well the manufacturer utilizes the interior space without including additional size. Though it’s the smallest of the Class C toy haulers, it doesn’t feel that way.
2. Renegade Classic Garage Model 2609
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Incredible amounts of storage in a high-luxury interior
⛔ This is a massive Super C with a massive load on it (not for everyone)
- Engine: Cummings 600HP
- Length: 45′ 2”
- Tow Capacity: 20,000 lbs
- Garage: Changeable
- Chassis: One of three: Cascadia, Volvo, or Peterbilt 567
- GVWR: 58,000 lbs
- Sleep: 6
- Ramp: Changeable
Since there are so few Class C toy haulers out there, we think the addition of this gargantuan, Super C Renegade toy hauler is necessary, just to spice things up a little.
This is a massive Super C, with a price to match. It features a luxury interior, immense storage, and a mind-blowing 58k GVWR.
These monsters come in a variety of floorplan options, with multiple garage sizes, multiple chassis options, multiple engine options, and multiple floorplans within these floorplans.
REV’s Renegades probably include more garage model options than the various brands of Class C toy haulers on the market combined. Needless to say, if you have the money, this is the superyacht of Class Cs, with a garage.
3. Thor Outlaw 29T
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Plenty of space-saving features, such as a tankless water heater
⛔ Could use a little more counter-pace
- Engine: Ford Triton 7.3L V8
- Length: 31′ 1”
- Tow Capacity: 8,000 lbs
- Garage: 9′ x 9′
- Chassis: Ford E-450
- GVWR: 14,500 lbs
- Sleep: 8
- Ramp: 7′ 2” x 6′ 2”
Thor’s Outlaw 29T and 29J are the most well-known Class C toy haulers of all. The garage space is adequate for a mid-size ATV or UTV and the patio deck is always a plus for evening parties and get-togethers. Plus, it sleeps 8, which is great for large families or those who enjoy the social life and have plenty of guests.
The patio/ramp is large enough to accommodate a small gathering and, when combined with the garage space, is a large environment for lounging and just hanging out. Once you get the toy out of the hauler, of course. The exterior TV improves what is already a fantastic design for outdoor recreation.
4. Coachmen Cross Trail 22XG
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Very versatile interior
⛔ Dometic thermostat could use an upgrade
- Engine: Ford Triton 7.3L V8
- Length: 24′ 3”
- Tow Capacity: 5,000 lbs
- Garage: Unlisted
- Chassis: Ford E-350
- GVWR: 12,500 lbs
- Sleep: 5
- Ramp: Unlisted
The Coachmen Cross Trail 22XG is a slight upgrade over the 21XG, mostly in terms of weight capacity. The towing capacity, for instance, is a 1,000-lb bump up, with a higher GVWR and enough room to sleep 5, rather than 4.
Instead of a double Murphy bed, you get a fold-up queen on the opposite side, with the bathroom sitting where the Murphy bed was on the other model. Everything else is mostly the same, which is a good thing since the Cross Trails are excellent Class C toy haulers.
5. Thor Outlaw 29J
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Very solid warranty (goes for the other Outlaw as well)
⛔ Latches for exterior storage are finicky
- Engine: Ford Triton 7.3L V8
- Length: 31′ 1”
- Tow Capacity: 8,000 lbs
- Garage: 9′ x 9′
- Chassis: Ford E-450
- GVWR: 14,500 lbs
- Sleep: 4
- Ramp: 7′ 2” x 6′ 2”
Since Class C toy haulers are so hard to come by, the first four models are really two, with an additional, slightly different version available for each. The Thor Outlaw 29J is very similar to the 29T. The 2024 versions are supposed to sleep more or less, depending on the model.
However, with the identical size and floorplans, you can sleep the same number on both. The biggest difference is the 29T does away with the dual-opposing sofas, opting for a single Murphy bed that converts into a sofa.
The interior space is very large, however, and you can probably make do with an air mattress if you need the extra sleeping space.
What Are the Benefits of a Class C Toy Hauler?
There are many benefits to a Class C toy hauler, and you don’t have to have the typical “toys” to love the extra storage and entertainment space. You can convert your garage into a workspace.
With the technology aboard these units, you can really make your work remote from the office and off the grid. From top-of-the-line WiFi capability, built-in wireless hotspot, Bluetooth radio in the cab with a touch screen, built-in USB charging ports, and solar charging systems, you can stay connected anywhere you go.
Use it for smaller toys such as bicycles, dirt bikes, golf carts, or a smaller ATV, or make it ready-to-go for a tailgate party with barbecue, chairs, televisions, tents, and anything else you need for an awesome party.
You won’t need to leave behind bikes, strollers, scooters, or anything else that will fit in the space. Some people have even turned it into a quilt or craft room. A friend of mine even makes their garage into a space for their cats.
The sky is the limit, or just your imagination, on the many ways you can use the garage space.
Are Toy Hauler RVs More Expensive?
Class C toy haulers, and toy haulers in general, are more expensive. The simple reasons for this are construction and engines. Construction-wise, more strength in the frame and chassis are required for the garage area. Plus, manufacturers have to draw a fine line when it comes to weight versus practicality.
It does no one any good if a Class C features a brutally efficient powerhouse chassis if the cargo carrying capacity is only 500 lbs. Strength, while maintaining a lightweight RV, involves more expensive construction costs and components. The engine is a big deal as well. It’s not enough just to deal with the weight of the Class C.
Now, the engine has to handle the RV, the weight of whatever toy you have in the garage, and the towing capacity. Some of these Class C toy haulers have a significant towing capacity on top of everything else. Bigger, more powerful engines equate to more money.
Is A Class C Toy Hauler Right For You?
This question is thrown around a lot and, as with anything else in life, that depends on you and your specific wants and needs. Class C toy haulers are rare, so you’re already dealing in a limited-demand market, with more expensive hardware than many Class A motorhomes.
If you want something that will haul around your kayaks, a Class C toy hauler is overkill. Also, to accommodate the potential toys in the back, Class Cs may lack the cargo-carrying capacity you need, especially if you’re traveling with a large family and all of their associated gear.
If you’re dead set on Class Cs and want to haul around your ATV as well, then the above four are your obvious choices. On the bright side, you won’t have to look hard and far to find one.
Final Thoughts About Class C Toy Haulers
If you love the benefits that drivable RVs give you, but require the storage of a mobile garage, look into a Class C toy hauler. Thor’s Class C Outlaw has the family space you need and the cargo-carrying capacity you want.

What year model is the Thor Outlaw 29J you note in article? I need the bigger garage to hold kayaks and can’t find one with that big of space. TIA
The toy hauler could carry a electric wheelchair walker char chairs and so forth. And probably cheaper than the big one that has a wheelchair lift on it. And I would think it might be easier to handle driving?
